So my bucket list was pretty boring and simple before I even thought I would be able to lose weight! I hoped for common things like:

  1. Getting out of debut
  2. Advance in my career
  3. get my dream car
  4. blah
  5. blah
  6. blah

But now that I have started dropping some lbs I feel inspired and I now dream of doing sooo much more like:

  1. Finally learn to swim (i was never comfortable enough to wear a bathing suit or want someone to have to carry my fat behind out of the Water if I drowned)
  2. I want to take a pole dancing class
  3. Travel overseas (not seat belt extension)
  4. run a marathon
  5. ride a rollercoaster (before I could never fit into the seats of the seat belts were too small)

My list goes on and on with each passing day

So what are you dying to do before you die now that you have started or completed your weight loss journey?

Good question!!! I'm now designing a life which more closely reflects my personal values and desires. That's my whole bucket list I guess.

The first thing on my bucket list was kicking the bucket down the road. Got that done, should have been dead years ago, prostate cancer. Losing the fat helps.

I now ride the roller coasters, buy clothes without trying them on, unabashedly go shirtless, run, laugh, smile, enjoy living.

The rest requires money to do but I have already covered the important stuff.

World travel, buying wife a great home, cruises, giving larger to charities.

I would like to add go camping in the Adirondacks! A lot of my friends have been before but I know you need to have a certain level of fitness to be able to hike through the mountains.

Welcome, Jed121!

Being nervous about the operation just means you are human and realize what it is. I was nervous, too. I calculated the risks, both immediate and long term. Getting the operation won out over continued obesity and poor health.

I calculated correctly. If I had stayed the way I was I would not likely be here to type this message.

You must decide for yourself. Research helps doubts. All my best to you!

It's funny. I woke up this morning thinking about what I will be able to do once I unload this weight. I have just started my journey. I had my first Dr. appt yesterday. Lots of tests scheduled. I'm done with the first month of supervised diet but I'm not following it right now. That is about to change. I'm starting to take this seriously. My head is slow to react, but it's getting on board.

Some of the things I am planning to do once the lbs are gone:

Dance!

hike

ride my bike

go to festivals

resume doing seminars

climb a ladder and do stuff

lots more ...

Above all, I will be able to take control and be who I am supposed to be. No more excuses. I'll be free!!!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
